Cloud Website Hosting Definition

Essentially, the actual cloud website hosting platform serves different website hosting services such as data storage, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, Control Panel, backup, etc., on independent bunches of top-notch web servers. Each single service pack produces a cluster. All the hosting servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the specific service and nothing apart from it. They will all operate as one server, sharing the service's load in nearly the same proportions. If there is a real cloud website hosting service, there should be: a data storage cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a web hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will make the so-called cloud web hosting platform.

The substantial cloud web hosting fraud. Quite common nowadays.

There is so much misunderstanding circulating around about cloud web hosting today. As you can perceive, cloud website hosting does not only sound perplexing, but actually it is intensely complicated. The majority of the people know nothing about what cloud website hosting is. On the basis of this widespread ignorance, the "cloud web hosting merchants" speculate fiercely, just to secure the customer and his/her 5 bucks a month. What a disgrace! A big shame. This is owing to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no bylaws whatsoever. The domain industry has ICANN. The website hosting industry has no such regulatory body. That is why the web hosting traders speculate and lie blatantly (quite bluntly, actually) to their clients. Chiefly the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud web hosting they in reality can furnish.

The truth about the cPanel-based "cloud" web hosting wholesalers

If a cPanel-based web hosting retailer has a cloud hosting solution at hand, which is very unlikely, plenty of web servers have to be ensured. Which is also not inexpensive. We will get back to that at the end of this article. But before we do, let's examine what the cloud troubles are. So, it's quite improbable for a cPanel hosting distributor to keep the cloud website hosting system at hand, in that building one demands years. Even when time and the provision of an expert team are not an issue, loads of cash must be invested too. Tons of cash. Moreover, cPanel is not open source. That's an enormous drawback.

The lack of open source cloud website hosting systems

There aren't any open source cloud hosting systems. There are no open source website hosting Control Panel tools (operating with the cloud hosting platform) as well. Hence, to have a cloud website hosting solution at hand, first of all you must devise one. In-house. Second of all, you have to set up the web hosting Control Panel too.

One server-based website hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting CPs like cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are created to operate on one web server exclusively. All web hosting services (disk space, email, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting CP, backup, etc.) are being served at the very same time on a single server where these given one-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The deficiency of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to set up a custom website hosting CP that will operate faultlessly and to incorporate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Good instances of in-house made cloud website hosting systems with custom set up web hosting Control Panels besides us, at Cleardigitalwave, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud website hosting hardware equipment fees

The smallest contribution wanted, only for the cloud website hosting hardware equipment, equals somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and $80,000 USD. That's omitting the DDoS mechanism, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud website hosting solutions can be discovered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so turquoise... and virtually unclouded!
